hagel was george allen of virginia. for whatever reason something was different about the way that chuck hagel ran his senate office than the way that the colleagues did. one of the interesting things about the turnovers rates is it provides a hard number. as mr. hagel is seeking to be the head of defense department that has some 2 million service members it is a worthy line of questioning perhaps for the senators who are going to be confirming him about why he couldn't keep a staff of 50 running in 2005. 20 of the 50 staffers walked out the door, left for whatever reason. which is a lot of turnover and whether you are in the public or private sector you don't want to see a lot of turnover. >> shannon: george allen and chuck hagel on the top of the list. who is the hardest to work for in the house. >> sheila jackson-lee is a might mare. you hear the craziest stories. once threw a cell pope at a staffer's head. had a staffer's parent coming to visit from a small up to and cursed out the staffer in front of them. my favor

senator hagel's been nominated by the president for secretary of defense. how are you going to vote on that one? >> tell extend on what he says at the hearing thursday. but i am not going to vote on a new secretary of defense until the old secretary of defense, leon panetta -- who i like very much -- testifies about what happened in benghazi. i haven't forgotten what happened in benghazi. hillary clinton got a view -- got away with murder. she said she had a clear-eyed view of the threats. >> you had 10 hours with her. >> our guys tried to ask questions, she was very good on her feet, deflecting the questions. but she said two things that will come back to haunt her. that they had a clear-ide assessment of the threats in libya and they had close contact with the libyan government. i don't believe either one of them. >> is secretary panetta going to testify? >> i am going to block hagel from going forward until he does. >> you are going to block him? >> absolutely. why would we not want to happen during the afac itself? what happened for seven hours? why wer
